ELDEN RING on Intel HD Graphics 520
No. The Intel HD Graphics 520 is below ELDEN RING's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 1060 3GB). Our model still estimates ~10 fps at 1080p low (range 8–12, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 9050 4GB (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 10 | 7 | 4 |
| medium | 8 | 5 | 3 |
| high | 6 | 4 | 2 |
| ultra | 5 | 3 | 2 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Intel HD Graphics 520 back.
- Processor needed for ~10 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~6 fps.
